Bell was arrested after a foot chase with police. Reiss said a witness living in the 4000 block of Northwest Fourth Street saw Bell emerge from a home and run through the back yard while police spoke with Thompson, who was sitting in a car in front of the residence.

When he was captured behind Broward Community College, Bell allegedly was carrying jewelry from the burglarized home, Reiss said.

``It was a good example of neighbors watching out for each other,`` Reiss said.
